 Silicate mesoporous materials are a type of material with unique properties that make them attractive for various applications. These materials are composed of silica and other metal oxide components, which give them a high surface area and narrow pore size distribution. They can be made with a variety of different surfactants, allowing for customization of the material structure and composition. Additionally, they can be used for catalytic reactions, separation processes, and more. This article was authored by Zade A. A. Lothman.
